I am a professional artist, drawing and painting has always been my passion. I have won several art competitions during my school days. I passed with distinction in the Elementary Drawing Examination (Government). Since the age of 8, I have been painting and at the age 14, I held my first art exhibition in the TAJ ART GALLERY (Mumbai). The year 1979 being THE INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE CHILD, I had a very good response. Have taken part in a number of galleries and online exhibitions (solo and group)( in India and Aboard) (Delhi , Mumbai, Banglore, Pune, Hyderbad , Dubai and London). Have done solo shows at the Mahalaxami Race Course ( MUMBAI) as well as (PUNE) race course, Trident Hotel(Mumbai), Dutch Palace (PUNE), P.N .GADGIL (PUNE), Raja Ravi Verma Art Gallery (PUNE), Malaka Spice(PUNE) Have taken part in Indian art festivals ( Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore). My medium of painting is oil and my passion for horses is depicted in most of my paintings. I am also inspired by nature and that is portrayed in my Landscapes and Seascapes. As a child I have painted other animals too but I gravitated to paint Horses primarily because of its nobility. I feel the Horse is a powerful, energetic and majestic animal, and it energizes me to paint them.
